I feel so fortunate to be returning from a dream trip with PNC Broadway in Louisville. As part of their 2017/18 season announcement, they assembled a group of media partners to accompany them to New York City to preview some of the incredible shows that will be traveling to Louisville this year, as well as reveal the exhilarating news that Tony Award-winning and cultural phenomenon “Hamilton” will be coming to Louisville as part of the 2018/19 season. The VoiceTribune, along with representatives from WDRB and WVEZ-FM/Play 106.9 made the trip with Four Roses Bourbon who, as sponsors of PNC Broadway in Louisville, took the annual trip for the sixth year in a row. Trust me when I say that the employees in the Broadway Across America corporate office, which became our makeshift office over the course of three days, love when Kentucky comes to town. With a pop-up bourbon bar every day at 2 p.m. served alongside Kern’s Derby Pie, what’s not to love? They also appreciate the passion that Louisville has for theater and the effort by PNC Broadway in Louisville to market these shows appropriately, guaranteeing that they will be enjoyed by the largest possible audience. This season is no exception. In fact, following the announcement on Thursday, it promises to be the most widely viewed season of shows in our city yet, already outpacing previous record-breaking years in terms of season subscriptions. Please read more about the experience in this week’s feature “Louisville on Broadway” and consider making the worthy and affordable investment in a season subscription. Not only will it enrich your life, but it will assure that we can continue to enjoy Tonya Abeln such high-caliber theater in our very own city. This weekend, The Voice-Tribune is a proud sponsor of one of the most highly anticipated events of the year: the Speed Gala. I consider it the Oscars of Louisville. You won’t want to miss next week’s Speed Gala highlights and best fashion moments. In the meantime, we offer a preview of the style and glamour that you may find within the halls and galleries of the Speed Art Museum with our style spread featuring the Speed Gala planning committee wearing gowns from Glasscock Boutique, Rodes, Rodeo Drive and Dillard’s. If you have delayed organizing your wardrobe for the big event, you could easily visit one of these local fashion staples to surely be a style standout. Our cameras can’t wait to capture it!

roperty Brothers,” “House Hunters International,” “Flip or Flop” – your favorite shows are usually your first source of home trends for the upcoming season. But when you’re ready to implement these trends, it’s time to go to the experts. To finish any project, the hosts need an army of idea-filled contractors ranging from kitchen designers to outdoor landscapers. So, if you’ve got your very own “Fixer Upper” on your hands, it might be time to assemble your own all-star team. You’ll find all the team members you need this season at the Building Industry Association’s annual Home, Garden and Remodeling Show. It’s the largest home show in the state of Kentucky, and with over 400 vendors annually, it’s also one of the largest shows in the nation. If you’ve decided that your home and garden needs a fresh spring makeover, the vendors present at the show have just the solutions you’re looking for.

Of course, a little research on upcomSHADOW ing trends is always vital. Luckily, these 2117-30 experts already know Benjamin Moore what’s coming next. For example, you may already know that the Pantone color of the year is Greenery, a cheery shade of green determined to brighten up any room. However, Jim Lehrer of Brownsboro Hardware & Paint knows a few more key shades. “There are a lot of grays, a lot of greens and a lot of bright whites,” Lehrer says. “And there’s the Benjamin Moore color of the year, Shadow.” Shadow is a dark, saturated purple that complements Greenery and provides a rich layer of depth. These shades of green, plum, grays and whites will provide the background to any other home trends this spring.

Color aside, more homeowners are taking advantage of the nature just outside their doors. “Outdoor living is, by far, the most popular category growing,” says Gunnar Graven of Steepleton. “Whether it’s patio furniture, grills or relaxing in your hot tub, people are finding ways to spend more time outside.” Creating a space to entertain outside will be a must-have for this spring and summer. Installing an outdoor kitchen used to be a go-to for homeowners looking to elevate their patios, but for 2017, the trend is a less-intense alternative. “Outdoor kitchens caught on for a while, but they’re not as hot as they once were,” explains Travis Whitenack, of TK Ground Services. “Now, it’s all about the entertainment factor.” To create an ideal entertainment space, find an open area in your backyard and keep it casual and relaxed. Bar-height railings are a great trend and much easier to build than a full deck – contractors can install a railing with the same width and height as a bar, which allows guests to rest a drink on it while chatting at your summer barbecue. And instead of that full kitchen, something as small as a new style of grill is ideal for your summer get-togethers. Lehrer explains that the Big Green Egg is the hottest item in outdoor grilling. “Kamado cooking was invented by the Japanese around 3,000 years ago,” Lehrer says. “You use a ceramic cooker, which holds heat and moisture in the food extremely well. The food is very flavorful, very tender,

when cooked on a Big Green Egg.” The fun name, added to the Kamado style, may be part of the reason these grills are so hot this season; although, Weber grills and Yeti coolers are certainly still popular as well. To round out your casual entertainment space, consider adding some stepping stones or pavers. As a favorite example, Whitenack cites his company’s landscaping around the famous Barbaro statue at Churchill Downs. “We worked on the actual pavers where you walk up to the statues – we took out the old and replaced with the new,” he shares. “We have a lot of pride in it.” When you’re updating your own outdoor space, consider adding some geometric, sleek pavers in a contemporary style. “We’re noticing clean edges and linear looks,” Whitenack says of spring. “Everything’s pushing a little more modern.” After your barbecue is cleaned up, you may want a more private spot to relax – and modern technology has you covered. Classic hot tubs are

Graven can even recount a few memorable deliveries. “We always pride ourselves on not saying no and taking the hard deliveries,” he says with a laugh. “Our most challenging ones are always when you have a big hot tub and you can’t get it to the customer’s backyard – so we rent cranes and get it over the house to get it set. We’ve done one over a house and one where we had to swing it off the crane into the balcony of a condominium.” It’s truly reminiscent of the last 10 minutes of an HGTV show, where the impossible falls into place. “The customers wanted it,” Graven says simply, “and we got it taken care of.”

“Outdoor living is, by far, the most popular category growing.”

However, indoor trends are equally as important. Mixing textures and styles are hot trends for the upcoming season, so consider your renovations with those in mind. A quick Pinterest scan will point to creating a traditional space with a modern twist – say, marble countertops instead of granite, or building a bar space into your traditional kitchen.

consistently becoming more popular with exciting new features coming into play. “We’re backed by Jacuzzi, the most well-known manufacturer of hot tubs in the industry,” Graven says of Steepleton. This year, he advises you to ignore the chemicals of past decades and instead install a simple UV bulb, which kills the same waterborne pathogens for a fraction of the upkeep. And try aromatherapy in your hot tub too. Just like bath salts, you can now enjoy your favorite scents while relaxing in the warm waters of your backyard. It’s no wonder that hot tubs are steadily increasing in popularity.

As winter turns into spring, remodelers like Steve Danzinger of SB Home Renovations are preparing to take on an influx of new projects. “We’re a full-service remodeling company,” Danzinger explains, “doing basements, bathrooms, kitchens, room additions. We do just about anything with the home.” Current homeowners are starting to remodel spaces that are often overlooked, like entryways and laundry rooms. And for classic remodels like kitchen or bathrooms? Counter-depth refrigerators and openroom designs are popular. Danzinger also recommends matte finishes on appliances, and brushed brass or rose-gold on fixtures.

And as you’re taking a look at your kitchen or bathroom, you may also want to look at some newly popular tile trends. Amy Balsimo of Louisville Tile explains just how much a good designer can help. “We have designers on staff to help with any type of project,” Balsimo says, “from tech and design advice at the beginning, to maintenance and care after the project is completed.” Again, modern looks are in – white subway tile, hexagon tile shapes and unusual patterns using sleek, rectangular tiles. And that dramatic mixing and matching is still applicable as homeowners experiment with exposed brick and terra cotta for a vintage feel in their contemporary space. More boldly, try a traditional kitchen with a brightly painted center island that pulls in a color from the backsplash. Another specific trend homeowners may want to consider throughout the house is LED lighting. “It’s very popular because electricity costs

are so high, and LED lighting uses a fraction of the electricity,” explains Bruce Stansbury of Stansbury Electric. He has a few tricks for pointing out the best lighting too. “A lot of people think that brighter LED lights have a higher wattage, and that’s actually not a fact,” he says. “They all come in different color temperatures. We can really help people pick out the best lighting for their home.” For a fun twist, he suggests getting creative in a favorite space. “If you’re a big UK fan, you can decorate your home theater with blue. Or if you’re a UofL fan, you can put red light in,” Stansbury says with a laugh. Don’t knock it until you try it – “It actually looks pretty neat,” he admits. For furniture, consider mixing and matching those sleek and modern looks with vintage features. “Chalk paint has been very popular,” Lehrer says. “You take furniture you might find at a yard sale and add chalk paint – it gives a

distressed look.” Combined with your modern tile and updated paint colors, this personalized treatment will give your room a unique and classic feel. Louisvillians will find all of these companies and more at the Building Industry Association’s upcoming Home, Garden and Remodeling Show this weekend. Potential clients know to go to the BIA show for a reason; the association is renowned for its behind-the-scenes work, vetting companies and contractors to make sure they’re held to a high standard. While not every vendor at the home show is registered with the BIA, many are – which makes assembling your all-star team even easier. “It’s fresh, it’s spring, and it’s a good way to get the winter blues out,” asserts Graven of the show. “You’ll go there and see all kinds of ideas.” Finding the perfect designer or contractor to help complete a project has never been easier. So the next time you reach for the remote, watch your favorite HGTV show with the knowledge that your dream home can become a reality too. VT The Building Industry Association’s annual Home, Garden and Remodeling Show will take place March 3-5, 2017, at the Kentucky Exposition Center, in South Wing B and C. Regular admission is $10 per person. For more information, visit louisvillehomeshow.com.

n Thursday, February 23, much of Louisville awoke to the exciting announcement made by PNC Broadway in Louisville that the national tour of “Hamilton” would be coming to our city for the 2018/19 season. The surprising and electrifying notice spread throughout the city and served merely as a punctuation to the already captivating news of the upcoming 2017/18 season, already a source of anticipation for even the most casual

theater-goer. With the perfect balance of classic and contemporary and a lineup that appeals to diverse age groups and demographics, this year, PNC Broadway in Louisville looks to get more of Kentuckiana into the seats of Whitney Hall at The Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts than ever before.

Attracting an impressive season of this magnitude is not merely a result of coincidence. In Leslie Broecker, Louisville has a respected advocate for local theater-lovers committed to bringing the best Broadway has to offer to the Midwest. As president of PNC Broadway in Louisville, Broecker has an intimate insider’s awareness of what is percolating within the New York theater scene. Her relationships with development teams on Broadway often mean that Louisville gets shows earlier in their tour than

pure demographics might dictate. Of course, the remainder of season planning is a complicated puzzle of logistics: What shows are traveling, and when will they be within the appropriate distance to include Louisville as a stop? This year, Broecker completed the puzzle beautifully, generating more excitement over a season than ever before. The 2017/18 season will consist of “Finding Neverland,” “Dr. Seuess’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas! The Musical,” “Chicago,” “School of Rock” and “Waitress,” while also including beloved season options, “RENT: 20th Anniversary Tour” and “Les Miserables.” Of the masterfully constructed season, Broecker shared, “We are so pleased to announce another season of hit shows, including our first holiday show in years. It’s Louisville’s passion for theater that has made our series grow and break records for two seasons in a row, bringing thousands of people downtown. Of course, we couldn’t be more thrilled to announce that ‘Hamilton’ will be coming to the 2018/19 season.” To help orchestrate the major announcement, PNC Broadway in Louisville compiled a media team to preview a number of the shows that their audiences will have the opportunity to enjoy as well as meet with the industry stars and insiders who helped define the success of their run. So in the process of bringing Broadway to Louisville, they also took Louisville to Broadway to experience the magnitude of the upcoming season and witness the enormity of influence that our PNC Broadway in Louisville leadership has on the New York theater industry. Descending upon New York City for an intensive three-day crash course in musical theater within the iconic Brill Building located at Broadway and 49th Street were some familiar Louisville faces and personalities. From WDRB-TV, anchor Lindsay Allen was in attendance joined by morning show hosts Jesse Rasmussen and MJ Stevens of WVEZ-FM/Play 106.9. The Voice-Tribune was among those documenting the journey. In addition to President Leslie Broecker, PNC Broadway in Louisville was represented by Matthew Porter, Leslie Butler, Erin Kuhn and Marvin Mason and accompanied by a brand that has quickly become synonymous with theater in Louisville thanks to their unwavering support of the Broadway Series: Four Roses. Master Distiller Brent Elliott along with Patty Holland and Julie Gorham were on site, much to the delight of those operating in the Broadway Across America offices, representing the ultimate in Bluegrass hospitality by serving Four Roses Bourbon every day

beginning at 2 p.m. While the pop-up bourbon bar, which also featured bites of Kern’s Derby Pie, was a foolproof way to engage those rushing through their work day, it turns out it was only a bonus. The camaraderie and friendship forged between those working in the Broadway Across America offices and the Louisville contingent was evident from the start. There was an obvious ease and familiarity surrounding the greetings and conversations among them, an illustration of the stellar reputation Louisville maintains in the market. After the season announcement and the reveal of “Hamilton” was made on Thursday, much of the day was spent in celebration as the number of season subscriptions started to prove that this season would far exceed any previous records set for the first day of sales in Louisville. But it wasn’t all bourbon on Broadway – much of the visit was spent meeting with industry experts to learn why this upcoming season is so relevant and important to the Louisville community. First among them was Broadway legend Charlotte d’Amboise, best known for her portrayal of Roxie Hart in “Chicago.” Charlotte is a lover of all things Louisville and relished in the telling of her experience there. “Louisville is one of the first places that gave me a real job as a serious actress at the prestigious Actors Theatre,” she recalled. When she returned to the city to reprise her role as Roxie Hart in the traveling production of “Chicago,” her stay included Thanksgiving dinner at the home of Brad and Carla Sue Broecker, who opened their home for all of the displaced actors for the season. As a close friend of Kentucky’s Wendy Whelan, principal dancer with the New York City Ballet, she returned to Louisville recently as her guest. “We soaked up all of Louisville’s culture. We went on a bourbon tour and visited Churchill Downs and the

and “Finding Neverland” she explained, are about dealing with tough times.

As for “Chicago” being a part of the upcoming Louisville lineup, she says not to take for granted that you may have seen this classic stage show before: “I have done this show for 20 years. It never gets old. You will never feel like you are seeing an old show or a revival. Even the jazz music has a way of always feeling current, and the black lingerie costuming never goes out of style or feels dated.” Additionally, d’Amboise says the themes of “Chicago” are more relevant than ever in today’s culture of social media notoriety and fleeting fame.

“‘Waitress,’” Paulus described, “is about it never being too late to go for your dreams. It is an encouragement that when you’ve given up and you feel like you don’t deserve something good in your life, it is never too late to pull that dream off a shelf and know that you matter.” The beauty of this contemporary musical – “Waitress” made its Broadway debut in April 2016 – is that it is an intimate tale about imperfect and very real people set in a diner. Paulus expands, “It is about people who are messy. People look at this story and they see themselves or they see their friend or sister. It is very easy to empathize with their struggles. It is also about friendships and the family we find in unexpected places.”

When asked how she related to a flawed character like Roxie Hart, she replied without hesitation, “We are both eternal optimists. That is the part of Roxie that is in me and makes me tick. She is going to make things work no matter what. She is such an optimist that she is blinded by who she hurts along the way and she has no moral objection about knocking people down on the way to her goal. The beauty is that everyone plays Roxie differently.” Representing what is perhaps the lesser-known shows of the season was Broadway director of “Finding Neverland” and “Waitress,” Diane Paulus. The artistic director of the American Repertory Theater at Harvard University has a passionate way with words when it comes to the importance of accessibility of the arts. In fact, when she emerged from her previous interview, many around the table were wiping tears. I asked her what encouraged such emotion among the Louisville crew with whom she spoke. She revealed, “We were just talking about what it means to be alive.” Both “Waitress”

The show made headlines initially for the collaboration it employed with pop sensation Sara Bareilles who penned the music and lyrics for “Waitress.” The singer will assume the lead role on Broadway on March 31. Of the collaboration, Paulus recounted, “It is such a privilege to have someone that is at the top of their game in the pop vernacular lend their musical storytelling skill to this. She has such wit with lyrics, and that she could channel that in musical theater is truly extraordinary. It is deeply moving and deeply funny and is about resilience and never giving up.” Likewise, “Finding Neverland” touches on the same themes. While “Waitress” explores them intimately through working-class America, “Finding Neverland” deals with them in an epic fairytale about how “Peter Pan” was created. Paulus described, “We feel like there was never a world without

Peter Pan, yet in 1904 London, J.M. Barrie dreamed of pirates and mermaids and boys that could fly. Everyone told him he would bankrupt the theater, but we know in the end it was a triumph. As an artist, I am revived by the idea of pushing boundaries to create something that hasn’t been seen before. For the audience, there is an emotional journey to question, are you going to fully live your life or are you going to always do what people expect you to do? You don’t have to be an artist to look inside and say, ‘Am I really living?’” Both shows also share that they have been adapted from screen to stage. When asked how she is able to identify a film source with the heartbeat for stage, Paulus responded with a smile, “There are many movies that should be left alone, certainly. There has to be an element of whimsy and you have to be able to feel an emotional life that deserves that kind of space in a musical. Theater has to make you feel something, and the stories have to plum those depths emotionally.” Despite her laundry list of accolades including a Tony Award, an NAACP Award and a place on the prestigious Time’s 100 Most Influential People List, Paulus asserts that it is never about her: “We are constantly fighting to defend the necessity of theater and culture in the world. Every show has to fight for its journey. It’s about the show and the message. These tours are so important because it gives us as artists the opportunity to bring our message to every corner of America.” VT To buy single tickets to any of the upcoming shows, or to become a season subscriber, which will assure that you are among the first to qualify for “Hamilton” tickets in 2018/19, go to broadwayinlouisville.com.

In addition to hosting this year’s tournament, the NWBT has also announced that the event will be returning to Louisville in 2018. That year, the tournament will be celebrating its 70th anniversary. “Having hosted the tournament for the past four years, we’ve seen firsthand how it showcases active lifestyle that is accessible to everyone, regardless of challenges,” says Karl Schmitt Jr., president and CEO of the Louisville Sports Commission. “This event offers local economic benefits and is a chance for our community to come out and watch world-class athletes in action.” Few cities in America embrace basketball, competition and resiliency as thoroughly as Louisville does. All three of those things will once again be on full display this spring when the NWBT comes to town. VT

TWELVE UOFL SCHOLARS REACH SEMIFINALIST STATUS FOR FULBRIGHT AWARD

Show is the region’s largest, longest running home show and has been locally produced by the BIA for 69 years.

A dozen University of Louisville students and alumni are in the homestretch as they vie for a prestigious 2017-2018 Fulbright scholarship.

All 4,000 trees that will be given away are native to Kentucky and were grown in a Kentucky Division of Forestry nursery just hours from Louisville. Guests who take a tree home will be given instructions on how to plant and care for the tree sapling.

The scholars have reached semifinalist status, which means they have been recommended to their host countries by a Fulbright screening committee and their chances of getting the award are high. That’s according to Patricia Condon, who heads the national and international scholarship program at UofL. “To be named a semifinalist is a tremendous and resumechanging accomplishment,” Condon said. “Most of the candidates will know by the end of May whether they have been selected.” In 2016, UofL had 15 Fulbright scholars, a record that earned the institution a place on the Chronicle of Higher Education’s list of top producers for the esteemed prize. Since 2003 UofL has produced 104 Fulbright scholars, more than all other Kentucky public colleges combined. UofL has been on the top producer list four times in the last 10 years. The semifinalists for 2017-2018 are shown below, organized by type of award. English teaching assistant scholarship: • Perrin Bailey, Frankfort, senior liberal studies major; Cyprus • Jeremy Ball, Manchester, senior political science and economics major; Malaysia • Dzemila Bilanovic, Louisville, anthropology alumna; Germany • Alex Stewart, Louisville, senior biology major; Poland • Kara Stivers, Louisville, political science alumna; Georgia

“The BIA is proud to partner with Metro Government and community organizations on this important initiative that will help improve our tree canopy,” stated BIA Executive Vice President Pat Durham. “Trees not only add natural beauty to our entire city, but they also improve our quality of life and environment. We know from the Davey Tree Canopy Assessment that thousands of trees need to be planted to achieve Louisville’s tree canopy goals. We hope that our fellow citizens will join us in this significant publicprivate partnership and take a tree sapling home to plant.”

Graduate student and research scholarship: • Kristen Connors, Louisville, anthropology and Spanish alumna and nursing graduate student; United Kingdom-England • Philip Dennison, Louisville, political science and French alumnus; Kazakhstan • Jordan Maiden, Dickson, Tennessee, national resource management and policy alumnus; Malawi • Vicki Searl, Rineyville, music performance graduate student; United Kingdom-Wales • Hung Ryan Vuong, New Albany, Indiana, senior biochemistry major; Switzerland AT LEAST 4,000 TREES TO BE GIVEN AWAY AT HOME, GARDEN & REMODELING SHOW For the second year in a row, entry into the Home, Garden & Remodeling Show presented by Champion Windows and sponsored by LG&E, will not only include access to over 300 exhibitors but will also give guests the opportunity to take home a free tree to plant. The Tree Sapling Giveaway presented by L&N Federal Credit Union is part of a city-wide initiative, supported by the Building Industry Association of Greater Louisville (BIA), to increase Louisville Metro’s tree canopy.

“Dr. Donovan was a key figure at Loyola during a period of transformational growth, much like our own, and the trustees know she will be an exceptional leader here at Bellarmine,” said Pat Mulloy, chairman of Bellarmine’s Board of Trustees. Mulloy said Donovan is a principled and experienced higher education leader who will embrace Bellarmine’s mission and vision and work closely with faculty, staff, students and alumni – along with leaders in Louisville and throughout the region – to further enhance the university’s academic offerings, campus facilities and fiscal strength.

“The Home, Garden and Remodeling Show is an excellent opportunity for the Louisville Metro Division of Community Forestry to educate attendees on the current state of the Jefferson County tree canopy,” said Division of Community Forestry Urban Forester Erin Thompson. “Additionally, the greatest opportunity for a tree to be nurtured in our community is on private property where there is ample space and need for trees to be planted. This information combined with explaining the benefits of trees and distributing tree saplings at the show will assist the public in understanding the issue and be given a way to instantly get involved.”

Donovan’s appointment is the result of an extensive global search led by a committee of trustees that also included representatives from the faculty, staff, student body, alumni and the Louisville community. Last fall, the search committee held community-wide and small group meetings to help develop the president’s job description and position profile, which included identifying opportunities and challenges for the new president.

Tickets for the Home, Garden & Remodeling Show are $10 for adults and $9 for senior citizens. Children 15 and under are free. Military members may present their military ID at the ticket booth to gain free entry. A buy one get one free coupon is available on Facebook at facebook.com/ louisvillehomeshow.

BELLARMINE UNIVERSITY NAMES ITS FOURTH PRESIDENT: LOYOLA MARYLAND’S SUSAN DONOVAN

It is her second time this season earning the distinction and the fifth of her career.

Bellarmine University’s Board of Trustees has unanimously appointed Dr. Susan M. Donovan as the university’s fourth president. Donovan, who begins work on July 1, is currently Loyola University Maryland’s executive vice president.

She began the week with 21 points and nine rebounds against Virginia and followed up with 22 points on 10-of18 shooting and 12 rebounds against Wake Forest in the regular-season finale.

• Hannah Touchton, Ashland, social work alumna; Malaysia • James Logan Zechella, Alexandria, senior biology and Spanish major; Columbia

Donovan, 58, holds a Ph.D. in higher education from St. Louis University, a master’s degree in higher education from Florida State University and a bachelor’s degree in communications from Buena Vista University. She also attended Harvard University’s Institute for Educational Management.

The Bellarmine community greeted President-designate Donovan on Wednesday, February 22, at 3 p.m. in Frazier Hall. At Loyola – a comprehensive liberal arts university in the Jesuit, Catholic tradition - Donovan has served as executive vice president since 2011, including a term as acting president in 2015. In 32 years at Loyola, she also worked as vice president for student development, dean of students, dean of residence life and interim vice president for advancement. Early in her career, she reported to the provost and sat on the dean’s council for seven years. Donovan was a member of the institutional governing bodies, including the academic senate, for more than 20 years. She began her higher education career while pursuing her doctoral studies at St. Louis University, working in student housing and operations. “Few institutions have made more progress than Bellarmine University in the last 25 years,” Donovan said. “I am delighted to lead Bellarmine, with an emphasis on strategic initiatives aimed at improving academic excellence, the student experience and our level of community engagement in Louisville and the region.”

LOUISVILLE WOMEN’S BASKETBALL’S HINES-ALLEN NAMED ACC PLAYER OF THE WEEK

The Montclair, New Jersey, native was selected by the Blue Ribbon Panel – comprised of the league’s media and sports information directors – in the conference’s final weekly honors of the season. The junior helped Louisville (25-6, 12-4 ACC) to a pair of victories last week, averaging 21.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 2.0 steals.

Hines-Allen has put together another remarkable campaign, a year following being named the Blue Ribbon Panel ACC Player of the Year. She is averaging 13.5 points, 9.1 rebounds and 1.1 steals. The 6-foot-2 forward became the 26th member of the school’s 1,000-point club and ranks 12th on the school’s scoring list. She is quickly ascending three other career lists: field goals made, rebounding, and double-doubles. Hines-Allen’s 594 baskets are ninth most in school history, while her 716 rebounds are 17 shy of 10th most. Meanwhile, she has accumulated 13 double-doubles this year, giving her 25 for her career to tie for fourth all-time. No. 14 Louisville returns to action, when it plays in the ACC Tournament in the HTC Center in Conway, South Carolina, on Thursday at 11 a.m. ET. The No. 5 seed Cardinals face the winner of No. 12 seed Virginia Tech and No. 13 seed Clemson, which takes place on Wednesday.

hat we saw in the Florida game on Saturday was why Kentucky can’t rely on Malik Monk’s offense to carry it to the promised land.

Catnip STEVE KAUFMAN

What we saw in the Florida game on Saturday was how Malik Monk’s offense can indeed carry Kentucky to the promised land.

It was more than just a case of a guy having two different halves. That happens. It was how Kentucky’s offense plays with a wheel off when its mercurial guard is struggling. And Monk was struggling. Forcing bad shots. Missing the shots he took. Fumbling the ball. Forget driving to the basket. Monk doesn’t do that. De’Aaron Fox does that. But Fox wasn’t in the game. And with only three points from Monk and no streaking Fox this was a non-dimensional offense. As in 28 first-half points. But in the second half, Monk showed why he could be one of those – think Kemba Walker, think Buddy Hield, think Carmelo Anthony – who could carry an offense on his shoulders. His shooting streaks are scary. But more than that, he’s nearly unstoppable driving to the basket. Which he did Saturday in the second half. We sometimes forget that Monk was the AAU slam dunk champion, with a whole highlight reel that he brought to Lexington. And then there’s Bam. There were all kinds of conjectures Sunday morning on why Bam has morphed from seven-rebounds-a-game big man into 15-reboundsa-game beast. There was something about his diet. And about trying to avoid doing extra running in practice. And about using both hands. Well, how about this? Lately, he’s been logging 35 minutes instead of 25. He’s been staying on the court instead of dragging his sorry fouls over to the bench. And, by the way, there’s no doubt that the more he plays – the more any freshman plays – he just learns the game. Bam was always a manchild in a beast’s clothing. He’s just getting beastier.

Leave the Driving to Monk Both of which could bode well for Kentucky in this upcoming critical time of the year. I say “could,” because Big Blue emotions always sink lower than they need to sink, only to rise higher than warranted. This Kentucky team is still just another lackluster performance away from again disappointing its faithful nation. There were other turning-point moments in that Florida game.

I’m sure most of you thought, as I did, that the first turning point was seeing Fox in non-combat mufti. What a bad time for Kentucky to miss its roadrunner point guard. The Wildcats seemed lost. Florida jumped off to an 8-0 lead and, later, 18-6. For all the promise of this UK team, the balance of power in the SEC seemed clearly to have swung to Gainesville. For me, though, the first positive turning point came with the insertion of Dominique Hawkins. Suddenly, the ball moved smartly on the Wildcat end of the court and got trapped when Florida had the ball.

fouled. Suddenly, Florida coach Mike White couldn’t keep guys on the court. Thirty second-half points! His 3-ball came alive too. He hit five of seven of those. And 10 of 11 from the line. But you can’t talk about that Florida game and not talk about Bam. He scored 18, made his free throws and just dominated the boards, a complete reversal of the embarrassment at Florida three weeks ago. Bam got 15 boards, Derek Willis got nine, Isaiah Briscoe got eight, Hawkins got six. All when it mattered most. So what if Monk and Bam had 51 of the team’s 76 points? So what if they took 29 of the team’s 53 shots? If that’s the strength of this team, understand it and give in to it. It’s sort of like the old joke about General Grant’s drinking. When asked about it, President Lincoln said, “Find out what Grant drinks and pass it around to the rest of the generals.” VT

The Kentucky turnovers suddenly came under control and there were fewer aimless dribbles into the paint. It still wasn’t pretty. But with the Cats playing some inspired defense, drawing fouls on the Gators and hitting their free throws, an 18-6 deficit had suddenly become a game. Two teams with identical 23-5 season records and 13-2 conference records had played to a halftime standoff. And then Monk hit a couple of free throws, two minutes into the second half, to put UK ahead by one. Monk too often forces his shots, and they’ve been increasingly, frequently, bad ones. But here’s what he did against Florida when his shots weren’t falling. He began driving to the basket, making layups or getting

UofL vs. Syracuse The Louisville Cardinals handed Syracuse an 88-68 defeat led by Donovan Mitchell’s 25 points and Ray Spalding’s 18 points and 11 rebounds. The win moves the Cardinals into second place in the ACC with upcoming games at Wake Forest and Saturday’s season finale at home versus Notre Dame.

Donovan Mitchell attempted a layup as Syracuse’s Tyler Lydon tried to block the shot.

The short jump shot of Syracuse’s Andrew White III was challenged by Louisville’s Mangok Mathiang (12 ) and Ray Spalding (13) late in the second half.

Deng Adel elevated to score over the reach of Syracuse’s Tyler Lydon.

Deng Adel saw nothing but nothing but orange as he looked to pass the ball during the second half. Syracuse’s Tyler Lydon (20) and Andrew White (3) closed in as Taurean Thompson (12) helped to trap the ball.

Deng Adel, Ray Spalding and V.J. King walked off the court with smiles after the Cardinals’ 88-68 victory over Syracuse.

Cortnee’s Last Stand The UofL women finished up the regular season 25-6 and 12-4 in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Cards are the No. 5 seed in this week’s ACC Tournament in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Starting center Cortnee Walton was one of three seniors honored before UofL’s final regular season home game, a 66-55 win over Virginia on February 23. Walton is a 6-foot-3 senior from Surprise, Arizona. She has spent the last semester as a sports intern at WAVE 3 News. The Cards could potentially host NCAA Tournament games.

Going into it, we were the only people that thought we were going to win. Our whole team bought in. The game was really tough. Sara [Hammond] got in foul trouble early, so I had to step up as a freshman. If you can imagine, your freshman year, first time playing in the NCAA Tournament, you’re playing against arguably one of the best women’s basketball players in the country and everyone thinks you’re going to lose. We were a 28-point underdog, or something like that, and so we ended up winning. And it’s definitely a highlight of my career. What do you remember about that matchup? Coach Walz was kind of telling us to get

in her head, get in her head. She kept elbowing me in the face, and it was driving me crazy. I was like, “Why is she elbowing me in the face? I’m not hitting her on purpose.” I elbowed her in the stomach and she called me some choice words and I called her some choice words and the ball went out of bounds and she came charging at me before a media timeout. The refs were blowing their whistles and nobody ever saw that on TV, but I like to say I’m tough. People think that because I’m nice I’m not tough, but I like to say, you know what, when I was a freshman, Brittney Griner got in my face and I wasn’t intimidated. What do you want to do now? I want to go into broadcasting and I would love to work for the ACC Network and be a color analyst and do sideline reporting – just everything about sports. I love sports and I want to continue working in sports. I want to stay in the Louisville area and use my connections. I love the people here and I love the environment, and I just have had such a great time that I want to live here. What is your major? I graduated in three years, so I got my undergrad in three years and I’m going to finish my master’s in sport administration in May. VT

Sutton Reforms Moore from the Inside Out

ast season, Moore High School’s boys’ basketball team didn’t need to travel to the venues of opposing teams to deal with the torment of boos from home fans.

No. All they had to do was step foot within the four walls of their own school to hear the unwelcoming mockery of disgruntled peers.

season than they had last season, but they’ve simply gotten better. They’re 20-10 on the season – the first time Moore has won 20 games since the 2012-13 season.

High School Sports Report

RANDY WHETSTONE JR.

“Our school spirit wasn’t where it used to be,” says senior forward Russell Vaden. “Students wouldn’t come to the game, and they would already be telling us we would lose. When we would come to school on game day, they’re already telling us we’re losing.” Insult was added to injury for a program that went 10-18 last season. But to Head Coach Roy Sutton, the greatest pain was not the total in the loss column; instead, it was the attitude and character issues that plagued this program. “I had some players on my team last year who we didn’t allow to play with us this year because they didn’t change from the inside,” he relates. “We had more talent in the locker room last year, but we had a lot of bad character kids.” In two seasons as head coach, Sutton has turned the culture of this program around. He’s preached a message of attitude over aptitude, stressing the importance of the “character of the kids.” After being a part of the transformation process while being on the coaching staff at Fern Creek, Sutton settled in some soil as the Mustangs new head coach where he had to separate the wheat from the weeds. “The changes we made over there [at Fern Creek] – I wanted to mirror the changes here,” Sutton says. “We started with the character of the kids. We wanted to put on their hearts and minds that outside of basketball and when it is over one day, we can say we made a difference in their life. I preach it all the time: Be a good person, be a good person. So we really preached discipline, being a good person, being a man with good character, and the guys have bought into that.” The Mustangs have won with less talent this

TVT.indd 28

The players have been elated and are no longer exasperated by the discouraging opinions from their peers in school. In fact, their success has turned classmates’ frowns into smiles and their pessimism into optimism.

“Last year, they couldn’t go anywhere without someone joking on them,” Sutton adds. “But now, they get recognized as winners, and they’re putting that in their minds and hearts. We want them to walk around like winners, accept the fact that they have changed this program, and winners is who we are going to be. “We talked about being professional in all that we do, and I’m a firm believer that you have to be a high-standing and good person all the time. From that, good things will come.” While some have remained incredulous to the success, Coach Sutton has embraced the showering of compliments toward the work and turnaround to this year. As a Southern High School graduate of the class of 1989, Sutton recollects that during that era when you played Moore, you were playing a formidable opponent. And he wants to relive those past memories.

can keep the success consistent the more he has standout players exhibiting the principles he’s established. Russell Vaden is one of those guys, and Coach says that in the coming years, players will hear echoes of his name in the locker room. “Russell represents the senior class because of his character,” Sutton affirms. “It isn’t because he jumps so high or dunks so hard; he has just been a great kid to coach. When he leaves, his name will ring loud in my locker room about how to work hard and how to be as a person and the results that come with that.” The beauty of their relationship is that Vaden will be able to take invaluable lessons from his coach as he looks toward the future. As he finishes high school, he has his eyes set on Eastern Michigan University next year, where he will be playing football. “Coach Sutton is like another father to me at school,” Vaden emphasizes. “He is like the help man. He tells me what I need to do and how to be a better person every day. So it is like a life lesson – you learn something new from him every day. So I just try to take it in as a person and as an athlete to do what I need to do to make myself better. I appreciate him being here for me and making our team who we are today.” VT

“Moore was tough in the late 80s and early 90s, and when you played them, you knew you had a game on your hands,” he shares. “That’s exactly where we want this program to be, right where it used to be. Knowing when you play Moore, you’re going to be playing a tough team.” A foundation has been set to keep this program moving in the right direction. Sutton believes he

You had your choice of everything that the international galley crew could prepare of their national dishes. It was so much fun and fascinating to see how nearly 400 people could be fed so well and with so many wonderful dishes. At most of the fancy parties on board, the canape table is decorated with at least one ice sculpture. After our galley lunch, we were treated to an ice carving demonstration out on the deck beside the pool. We have seen this sort of thing before and it is always amazing. We reached the Bay of Islands in New Zealand the next morning. This is an area on the east coast of the Far North District of the North Island of New Zealand. It is one of the most popular fishing, sailing and tourist destinations in the country and has been renowned internationally for its big-game fishing since American author Zane Grey publicized it in the 1930s.

After that, we sailed to Rotorua (Tauranga), New Zealand, 144 miles away. It is in the Bay of Plenty region of the North Island of New Zealand. It was settled by the Maori late in the 13th century and by Europeans in the early 19th century and is the largest center for business, international trade, culture, fashion and horticultural science. The port is the largest in terms of gross export tonnage. It is one of the fastest growing cities with a 14 percent increase in population and is New Zealand’s fifth largest city.

Next on the horizon was Napier, located in Hawke’s Bay on the Eastern coast of the North Island. It is the largest producer of apples, pears and stone fruit in New Zealand. It is the nexus of the largest wool center in the Southern hemisphere. Napier is also one of the most charming places to wander around. It suffered a devastating earthquake in the center of town in the early 1900s. They rebuilt at the height of the Art Deco craze. It looks like a vintage movie set!

We were here about 10 years ago and it has changed very little. We were able to walk right to the antique shop we had been to before and find three pieces of Doulton pottery to bring home. Then off we sailed to arrive in Wellington, New Zealand the next morning to a pleasant surprise. Mobility scooters are provided by Wellington City Council and a local bank. They are available from various city locations and can be borrowed by people aged 18 and up for up to four hours free of charge! We went with our long-time friends Millie and Malcom on a visit to the very beautiful Wellington Botanic Garden near the dock. It was about eight acres, full of flowers – especially roses – shrubs and people. Remember, in New Zealand they are reaching the end of a wonderfully cool summer. Back to our floating home in time for lunch and away we sailed for Akaroa (Maori for “the long harbor”), where we arrived the next day. Akaroa is a small village nestled on the shores of the crater of a long-extinct volcano. Its main industry is tourism but it is a local service center for farms and fishing activity on Banks Peninsula. It is the end of state highway 75. In the 2013 census, the permanent population was 624, an increase of 9.5 percent since 2005! It is the home of the world’s smallest dolphin, the Hector’s Dolphin, which grows no more than 4 feet and 11 inches in length! Hectors are among the rarest of dolphins and they are the cutest.

We bundled up and got on our ship’s tender that took us over to the Akaroa waterfront where we got on one of their catamarans. We sailed alongside the Hector dolphins. We also saw penguins, seals and lots of birds. Back in Akaroa, we visited the village craft shops and felt the isolation of the village. The population is 624! There are lots of gift and jewelry shops so it must have more life than we saw. Oh well, it was a pleasant morning excursion. The following day, we sailed into Dunedin, one of the four main cities of New Zealand. Archaeological evidence shows the first human (Maori) occupation of New Zealand occurred between 1250 and 1300, with the population concentrated along the Southeastern coast. A camp site at Kaikai Beach, near Long Beach, has been dated from about that time. There were many invasions of many different cultures over the centuries. Then in 1861, gold was discovered at Gabriel’s Gully. That led to a rapid influx of people and saw Dunedin become New Zealand’s largest city until about 1900. A really big treat was the opportunity to see Larnach Castle, which has been restored over the last 50 years. Will give the details next week. VT

SPOTLIGHT

Wrapped in Red Gala

This year’s seventh annual Wrapped in Red Gala Centennial Celebration presented by Brown-Forman will take place on Saturday, March 18. Join the Red Cross to celebrate a century of service in Kentucky and Southern Indiana. We spoke with American Red Cross Kentucky Region Senior Director of Communications Amber Youngblood to give you a sneak peek into the red-tie formal event! What is the Wrapped in Red Gala? The Wrapped in Red Gala is the largest fundraising event for the American Red Cross Kentucky Region, which is going into its seventh year. Proceeds from the gala benefit community disaster services and programs. What can guests expect at the event? Annually, guests have grown accustomed to being “wowed” by decor led by the efforts of Wayne Esterle at In Bloom Again, as well as anticipating new elements we strive to provide each year, which helps continue to surprise and delight guests. This year, we are highlighting our centennial celebration and incorporating elements of Red Cross activities throughout the past 100 years, with focus on our service to the armed forces. We are excited to have Heather French Henry returning as our emcee (she emceed in 2012), as well as having Louisville’s own music sensation, Linkin’ Bridge, who will provide a special performance. The Endless Summer Band, who has a nice following in Kentucky and Indiana, is returning this year to crank out great music with their flare of fun and engaging attendees to get out on the dance floor. Tell us about this year’s theme and how it came about. The Red Cross Louisville Area Chapter came into existence two weeks before the United States sent military troops overseas to support the Allied Forces in WWI. While the overall theme will be a centennial celebration, we will be emphasizing our work with military members and their families over the past 100 years, as well as other key points in history throughout the state.

Are there any design elements you can reveal about this year’s event? With it being the Red Cross 100th anniversary, you may see accents resembling diamonds, which will be incorporated into our signature color, red! We will also pay homage to elements of the past as well. What are your suggestions for how guests should plan their attire for the evening? We consider this “red-tie encouraged,” meaning many of our attendees will wear elements of red, while others wear black or white attire, which rounds out the colors of our brand. While this is considered a formal affair, you will see a nice balance of formal evening wear in addition to smartly dressed people in creative cocktail attire and suits. Why is this event important for the American Red Cross and the Louisville community? The Red Cross Wrapped in Red Gala is the largest fundraising event we have in the Louisville area and the whole state. Proceeds from the event go toward disaster relief operations big or small, as well as preparedness programs such as our Home Fire Campaign. This campaign, with additional support from corporate partners like Almost Family, provides partner opportunities with fire departments and local volunteers who install free smoke alarms and deliver fire prevention and safety information in homes that need them. The Red Cross Kentucky Region responded to more than 1,800 home fires last year. Since the inception of the program a couple of years ago, we have 18 verified lives saved as a result of this campaign.

What sponsors do you have on board this year, and are there any auction items you can expect to result in competitive bidding? The Red Cross is grateful to Brown-Forman, who has returned as our presenting sponsor, as well as Anthem Blue Cross & Blue Shield in Kentucky, Norton Healthcare, Toyota of Louisville, Fastline Publications, among many others. We are excited to see several new additions to the auction this year such as a trip to Barcelona, Spain; a weekend getaway to Korbel Champagne Cellars in California; as well as several bourbon packages and popular area events and upcoming concerts. How has the event grown over the years? The event brings in nearly 600 attendees annually. We are fortunate to have an active board who gets behind the event in helping spread the word, obtain sponsors as well as support auction efforts. That, coupled with key volunteers who serve on the committee, has continued to build momentum and the success of hosting a gala each year. Where can you purchase tickets? Is it too late? While tables are filling fast, people can still purchase tickets to the gala or to the Red Lounge dance-only portion of the event by visiting my.bidpal.net/wrappedinred or by calling 502.561.3691.

Making Over Mommy

Corbett Cosmetic Aesthetic Surgery and MediSpa takes mothers who want to achieve this goal seriously. They specifically offer a “mommy makeover” service that targets problem areas for mothers who do not plan on having any more children and are ready to transform their look to one that can’t be achieved by diet and exercise alone. Dr. Lee Corbett, one of Louisville’s preeminent plastic surgery specialists, has 19 years of experience of making over moms. “Most clients combine an abdominoplasty [tummy tuck] with a breast lift,” Corbett says. “Often, women tend to add an implant to their lift to gain back the fullness they lost after pregnancy.” These two procedures are the most common for “mommy makeovers” since these two areas are most affected by pregnancy. Though these procedures may seem extreme,

ance one does not think of when imagining a doctor’s office. There is nothing clinical about Corbett and his staff; they strive for an experience nothing short of exceptional. In fact, their excellent client care stems from the passion Corbett and his staff have for their jobs.

“I have the best job in the world!” Corbett exudes. “I get to help people feel better about themselves. It’s rewarding to see clients gain their confidence back.” Trusting someone with something as intimate as your body can be scary, but having a passionate and professional doctor can certainly put you at ease, especially one who has won a multitude of awards, including Vitals’ Patients’ Choice Award in 2015. Besides providing excellent service, Corbett also looks to debunk the stereotype that plastic surgery has to look fake. He maintains. “You

The majority of our clients are just like you and me. It’s affordable and there are payment plan options now for those who need them.” Of course, the only way to know if you are eligible is to talk to Corbett yourself. Like all surgical procedures, deciding to take the big step can be a hard decision, and it’s important to find a perfect fit for your specific needs. Corbett and his staff help make the decision an easy one. They want you to be the best possible version of yourself: healthy, beautiful and confident.

European Flare in Southern Indiana

Greek, Italian and some American influences as well,” he describes.

Olive Leaf Bistro in Jeffersonville, Indiana, offers Mediterranean European cuisine in a chic and welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant is tastefully designed to emulate an elegant European restaurant, something you don’t see at many places in the area. The food is universally tasty, and the staff makes you feel right at home. “We try to get to know our guests when they eat with us, and it really does feel like home here,” says Jessie Bryant, Olive Leaf ’s front of house manager. Owner and Head Chef Jimmy Shraby moved here from Summit, New Jersey, where he owned a restaurant called Souffle that specialized in classic French cuisine. When he arrived in Southern Indiana, he wanted his new restaurant to combine the European flavors he loved with the New York style that he knew so well. “Mediterranean European is the main style, but we also try to incorporate French, Spanish,

PHOTO BY MARIAH KLINE

TVT.indd 73

Since opening Olive Leaf in 2014, Shraby has mastered the combination of these styles. Every piece of every dish is put together with great intention, resulting in deliciously satisfying food.

Every perfect meal starts with a tasty appetizer. Olive Leaf offers everything from tomato bruschetta and French onion soup to a hummus trio and my personal favorite, the spanakopita (spinach, feta cheese and onion wrapped in a flaky pastry). The warm and melty filling combined with the crunch of the filo dough makes for a unique and memorable starter. We then move onto the main course, where Shraby’s entrees do not disappoint. They have a variety of dishes to choose from, including pastas, meats and fish. The Angus ribeye steak and its accompanying sauces absolutely melt in your mouth. The textures of the grilled salmon, quinoa risotto and fresh vegetables blend delightfully together for an absolutely singular flavor. With each course, Shraby and his staff have many wines to choose from and know exactly which one to pair with each meal. If wine isn’t your favorite, try one of their many beer or cocktail specials. Last but not least, there’s dessert. The difficult

choice will not be whether or not to order dessert, but which amazing decadence to choose from. Souffles, cannolis and baklava are all on the menu to make your ending sinfully sweet. They also have a delicious tiramisu that mixes a delicate cake with rich espresso-soaked ladyfingers and a light dusting of cocoa powder. Each flavor in each dish is carefully blended together to create a sensation that you’ll remember long after the meal has ended. The ingredients are fresh, and everything is cooked to perfection. The atmosphere of the restaurant is elegant, but not at all stuffy. You can see the breathtaking view of Louisville from inside, or enjoy a front-row seat on their patio. They even feature live music from local musicians on the weekends. Olive Leaf has an extensive menu that includes vegan and vegetarian options. They offer online ordering as well as reservations through OpenTable. They also offer catering on site or off for any special event. Olive Leaf Bistro is within walking distance of the Big Four Bridge and right across from the River Stage. They’re now taking reservations for Thunder Over Louisville and Abbey Road on the River, and it’s the perfect place to enjoy those outdoor festivities. A unique and delicious experience with a spectacular view is just across the bridge, where Olive Leaf is ready to welcome you. VT Olive Leaf Bistro is located at 130 W. Riverside Drive, Jeffersonville, Indiana. For more information, visit oliveleafbistro.com or call 812.913.1252.

OUT & ABOUT

Catching Spring Fever by Lisa Hornung

“What is your advice for what we should be planting this time of year?” “All plants are good this time of year. It’s better to get them in early so they don’t have to go through a stressful summer. If you plant them now, the root’s going to establish by the time summer comes so that it will be a little less stressful on the plant. They say [don’t plant until after Derby], and I recommend that with tender perennials or annuals or something like that. But hardy nursery stock is not going to be bothered by any kind of frost from now until Derby. Any of these shrubs and trees that we’re planting right now aren’t going to be affected by frost. Witch hazel or forsythia are blooming right now. —Beau Hoffman, sales manager at Frank Otte Nursery and Garden Center

“”Plants that are good this time of year are any evergreens or foundation plants. You can plant any kind of trees this time of year as long as the ground isn’t frozen. Plants you can add for color are going to be pansies because they are flowering this time of year. This year is kind of a fluke because it’s so warm. So everything’s blooming a little early. I get a lot of questions about when to prune, so a good rule of thumb is that for flowering shrubs, prune them right after they flower. For evergreen pruning, a good time is November through February. And again, anytime during the growing season, which is May through August.” —Jeff Wallitsch, retail manager of Wallitsch Nursery and Garden Center

“You can really plant most anything you want to in the spring. Some of the more sensitive plants are better planted early rather than later in the summer or fall. In general, spring is a very good time and everybody is ready to get out and plant. Crepe myrtles and some of the new hardy camellias traditionally are not as winter-hardy and they’ve been kind of borderline for our area, so getting them planted early in the spring gets them wellestablished for the following winter. We’re in the very Northern edge of where those grow successfully.” —Owen Halterman, manager of The Plant Kingdom

“Right now, people are putting down grass seed if they didn’t in the fall and they’re buying pre-emergents [herbicides] for grass. Pansies are good this time of year. Cole crops, such as broccoli, spinach and kale are good to plant right now. Though it may be a little early with this weather and you might need to cover them, though the pansies will be fine.” —Molly Woedl, sales associate at St. Matthews Feed & Seed

“Cole crops are best right now, such as kale, radishes, collard greens. Peas and lettuce are OK right now, too. Any bare-root trees would be good right now. Our last average frost for the year is May 20, so brassicas (cruciferous vegetables, cabbages or mustard plants) will all survive but you might need to cover, though most people transplant them from indoors. With sweet peas, you can plant them as soon as you can work the soil.” —Matthew Sargent sales associate at Fresh Start Growers’ Supply

The Permission to Create

By Kate Weiss

enny Lawson’s previous memoirs, “Furiously Happy” and “Let’s Pretend This Never Happened,” will have milk (or wine slushie – depending on your beverage of choice) squirting out your nose faster than you can read to page 17. The Bloggess’ newest book though, “You Are Here: An Owner’s Manual for Dangerous Minds,” is a different creature.

As she explains in the preface, “You Are Here” is more art therapy than memoir. The book itself is a large, square-ish paperback printed with black and a lovely sky-blue ink. There are entire pages saturated completely with black. The perforated pages are a thick stock filled with Lawson’s doodles and wall-worthy inspirational quotes like, “TODAY I CHANGED EVERYTHING. TODAY I TOOK A SHOWER. TODAY I KEPT BREATHING” and “Listen to the tiny voice inside your head. Unless it’s trying to tell you that you’re worthless. ...” Lawson’s quotes and doodles effortlessly range from odd to hilarious to profound. On one page, she reflects on her, at times, debilitating anxiety and depression, then on the next, she offers sound advice about the best way to give someone a high-five (look for the elbow, not the hand). A traditional memoir this isn’t. If anything, I wish there were more of it. Her black and white line drawings are lovely and why this book came to be. There are large wales with tiny handguns floating in the ocean, anchors sinking to the bottom of a bubbling sea and a woman floating in a black pool filled with stars. Her use of circles and pattern reminds me of zentangles and mandala art. It’s easy to see why her fans have been tattooing their bodies with these images, printing them out for Jenny to sign and hanging them on their walls for years. While the adult coloring book fad is finally starting to wane, self-help books and memoirs are not. And this book has leaves in all three genres. Part inspirational, part self-help, part humor and all Jenny Lawson, “You Are Here” is a place in time and space where readers are encouraged to join in, to color inside the lines or outside of them as their hearts desire, to write and draw their own weird patterns and stories.

Books as objects are often more than type set on pages. And for that reason, this book probably won’t translate d i g i t a l l y. And it’s a good thing too. It’s not meant to be read through in the traditional way. It’s about tearing out pages and hanging them above your bed; it’s about writing down secrets even though it might feel a little silly; it’s about doodling because you want to and for no other reason at all. Lawson’s voice and mantra are as clear and cutting as in her more traditional memoirs. We are all broken; we are all weirdos; we will get through this somehow; just look at the pretty dandelions, aren’t they amazing? In her own weird way, she gives us permission – the permission that so many of us desperately need – to doodle, to create, to make mistakes. So build yourself a pillow fort, grab some markers and maybe a box of wine and start drawing. VT Jenny Lawson, the Bloggess, will be reading and answering questions at the Tim Faulkner Gallery in the Portland neighborhood on Monday, March 13 at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at carmichaelsbookstore.com.

The Personality of Design By Remy Sisk

hen Kelly Hill decided her Lake Forest home was in desperate need of an interior redesign, there was only one person for the job: Natalie Officer of Natalie O. Design Co. The two were already friends, but as Hill wanted her home to match her diverse personal taste, she knew she needed someone who would work with her to make the nuance her home the best representation of herself – and Officer was just the girl for the job.

“I’m one of those people who likes a lot of different things but I can’t figure out how to put it all together, and Natalie was the one who brought all my varied and eclectic ideas into one,” Hill relates of the project, which saw the women work side by side for two years. Hill recounts it as a patient and thoughtful process, going room by room and making sure each was just right before moving on to the next area. As Hill recounts the journey she took with Officer, she details that her personal taste often manifests in the form of quirky, mismatched objects that she finds in the most unique of places, and while she knows she essentially likes them all, she doesn’t know how they fit together. That’s where Officer came in. “I would find something on my travels through Kentucky – just stopping over on the side of the road picking up something from a little tiny shop – and sure enough, Natalie would find somewhere amazing to put it and put everything else

around it and tell a great story,” Hill describes. Consequently, the Hill home is now a completely singular place, teeming with tasteful, multifarious accents that make their house an authentic home. For example, Hill describes the skull of a bull that now proudly sits on her office wall. She found it at a small antique shop in Glasgow, Kentucky, and while she knew she wanted to feature it in her home, she was truly at a loss as to where. However, Officer decided to use it as a juxtaposition piece in Hill’s office, which had a sleek and refined vibe to it. The skull is now the foundation of an accent wall that is indicative of Hill’s wonderfully wide-ranging style. Similarly, Officer worked wonders in Hill’s bedroom. “I absolutely love my bedroom,” Hill exudes. “I love it because it’s fancy mixed with not-fancy. The back wall is a great barn wood, and I have these great gold sconces next to my bed and this really elaborate fancy mirror. It’s almost like mafia meets backwoods. It’s really fun.” Officer looks back on her time with the Hill home and likewise maintains that it was the personality of the Hills and their collection of items that made the house so totally one of a kind. “By mixing the personal and meaningful belongings of the Hill family with custom items, we were able to create a polished look with a comfortable feel – a home for a growing family that made every room enjoyable,” she says. “The home, tucked in the back part of a more traditional neighborhood, screamed for character elements, which we later added to both the dining room and kitchen.” Hill is sure to emphasize, however, that the entirety of the credit for the home’s now iconic personality belongs to Officer, a designer who is able to not only make a house look as charming as anything one might find online or on HGTV but also infuse it with a special personal touch that elevates it to something absolutely inimitable.

“Natalie has this eye that no one I’ve ever met has,” Hill adds. “It’s funny because you could go see a house that’s designed from Pinterest all day long. And you could walk in and think, ‘This house looks perfectly staged – it’s beautiful and there’s nothing wrong with it.’ But then you walk into something Natalie’s done, and you can just tell that something she did was a little bit different. She gave it that personal touch that doesn’t look like it came directly out of a magazine – it looks like it came from your story, your own personal story that’s better than anything that was posted online.” VT
